Tips and Feedback

Want to know more about yourself?

If you are looking for self improvement sometimes it’s a good idea to ask other people what they think. I am doing a review on this site RepVine. This is a site that invites you to give references of other people and lets you invite other people to give you a reference. Check it out: RepVine. It is a good idea if you can handle the information you read about yourself. It could be a big ego booster or a huge letdown but it is still something that I would use.

My background is in recruitment so getting references makes sense to me. I know first hand how very important it is to have references. Companies close, people move on and years down the road when you really need a reference but can’t contact anyone who knew you, can be the undoing of you. The beauty of this site is that you can have a personal and/or business reference done.

I am sure that RepVine will appeal to people’s egos as well. I know that I would love to know what others think of me. I think it takes courage to take a good look at yourself. It will also be interesting to see if what I think about myself matches what others think of me.

From a business point of view this can only be a good idea. I think that it could work really well with things like Doctors, Lawyers or even schools etc.

The site is clear and uncluttered and easy on the eyes but the one thing I struggle with on the RepVine site is the font size - it is too small. We had a review done on us some time back and someone mentioned that our font size was too small and I am really grateful for that persons honesty. We have changed the font size now and have had good feedback since. This is a good example of how RepVine can be helpful in business.
